5. FAQ & Troubleshooting
Q: "WebView2 Loader failed" error on startup? ▼
This indicates your system is missing the required Microsoft runtime. Please visit the official Microsoft website to download and install the "WebView2 Runtime Evergreen Standalone Installer".
Q: My Anti-Virus reports a false positive? ▼
This can sometimes happen due to the protective "shell" mechanism used to secure the EXE. The core is digitally signed. We recommend submitting your generated software to AV vendors for whitelisting, or advising users to add it to their exclusions list.
